But, but, but, the implosion of the Heritage Foundation is nevertheless a thing of beauty and a joy at least for this week. And it is yet another sign of the divisions simmering within the conservative cult.

In an editorial headlined, "The Heritage Foundation Blows Up," The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes:

Heritage once supported free trade; now it is protectionist. It once supported a robust American foreign policy; Heritage purged its defense hawks two years ago. Heritage was a supporter of the originalist judicial revolution and the rule of law; now it defends Mr. Trump's expansion of executive power whether or not it has a constitutional basis ... .

Heritage abandoned its principles, it is losing its people, and soon there might not be much left to donate to.

Exit take: We tried to warn them, and we're going to keep on sounding the alarm, standing athwart the crazy and shouting, "You can't be serious."
